Eighteen Moon Pools
十八月潭
Dubbed the “Jiuzhai Valley of northeastern Sichuan,” this scenic area links nineteen waterfalls and eighteen emerald pools. Autumn foliage reflected in the water makes it especially photogenic.
Eighteen Moon Pools is located at Dajiangkou Forest Farm in Yangba Town, Nanjiang County. The area is known for its many waterfalls and deep, quiet forests. Its main highlights are Jiujiao Mountain, Yuyin Platform and the nineteen waterfalls of Eighteen Moon Pools. A plank walk follows the stream upward level by level, and the water shifts between emerald green and deep blue depending on the light. In autumn, red and yellow foliage mirrors the water, making it one of the most popular photography areas in Guangwu Mountain. Admission is about RMB 55 in peak season and about RMB 50 in the off-season. Opening hours are 8:00–18:00. It does not share an entrance with Taoyuan Scenic Area, so drivers need to visit separately. Allow half a day.
